Sanders delegates ready one last protest against the DNC - News Summed Up

Sanders delegates ready one last protest against the DNC


Shortly after 4 p.m., a few dozen Sanders delegates rallied inside the arena-adjacent media tent that had become an ad hoc protest hub. They also winced at the memory of Monday morning's delegation breakfast, where Sanders delegates chanted "Count the votes!" But on Twitter and Facebook there were reports of up to 700 Sanders delegates being kept outside, of Clinton delegates filling seats so that Sanders delegates would be locked out, and of the DNC being so desperate to cover up for walkouts that it was hiring actors to fill seats. He got some cross looks from Clinton delegates, and figured that was the end of it. In fact, that rumor contradicted the much truer story of seats being filled in before Sanders delegates got chances to pack them.
